I listen to you breathe

as you soundly sleep beside me.

You’re the one I always dreamed of,

but I never dared to hope.

You give me all you have to give

trusting me not to break your heart.

I return the love you’ve given,

my trust also is complete.

I’ve heard couples say I love you

but it was merely words.

Now, those words have a meaning

I completely understand.

The day we met, you changed my life

though I didn’t know it then.

I knew quite quick we shared the dream,

but could I dare to hope?

Now time’s gone by, we’re side by side,

I no longer have to dream.

You are the one I’d hoped to meet,

and I’m truly now complete.

I listen to you breathe

as you soundly sleep beside me.

You’re the one I always dreamed of,

and you’re here before dreams died.

“For my forever lover.”
